In mathematics

85 is an octahedral number, a centered triangular number, a centered square number, a decagonal number, and a Smith number.

85 is the product of two prime numbers (5 and 17), and is therefore a biprime; specifically, the 24th biprime not counting perfect squares. Together with 86 and 87, it forms the second cluster of three consecutive biprimes.

85 can be expressed as a sum of two squares in two ways, 85= 9² + 2² = 7² + 6²

85 is 1111 (a repunit) in base 4; which is expected, since its two factors 5 and 17 are consecutive Fermat primes, and the base 4 is one less than the smaller factor 5.

The aliquot sum of 85 is 23 within the aliquot sequence (23,1,0) 85 being the second composite number in the 23-aliquot tree.

In U.S. college athletics, schools that are members of NCAA Division I are limited to providing athletic scholarships to a maximum of 85 football players in a given season. The specifics vary by the two Division I football subdivisions:

• In the top-level FBS, each player provided with a scholarship may, and almost always does, receive a full scholarship.
• In the second-level FCS, schools are allowed to provide football-related athletic aid equivalent to 63 full scholarships, but this aid may be divided among up to 85 players as the schools see fit.
